Hi Facebook Treasure Quest fans!
I’m sure you’re wondering what this site is all about, since you got here via Facebook and/or a web search for one of the games in Treasure Quest on Facebook. Well, this site is a Big Sea Games fan site, full of information on all of the games at BigSeaGames.com, including seven of the games currently available on Treasure Quest at Facebook.
Both Big Sea Games and Treasure Quest are run by an awesome company called Big Fish Games; they also sell great casual download games, check them out if you get a chance. Big Sea Games is a casual game portal in its development/beta phase. It’s not currently open to the general public, and they are not currently accepting applications to their waiting list. Luckily for you, you can at least play seven of the Big Sea Games titles on Treasure Quest at Facebook.
There are eight games available to you on Treasure Quest, seven of which were originally (and still are) found at Big Sea Games. The exception is Daily Detective, which is compiled from scenes originally found in Hidden Object games produced by Big Fish Games. By popular demand, we are keeping an archive of the Daily Detective answers, updated every morning.
We’ve spent a lot of time collecting and providing hints and tips for a lot of the games, some pages on this site that might help you are listed below.
L.O.B.E.
- Ciphrase Answers
- How to Solve Logic Line (outdated, but still may help you)

*Ignore the stuff on the ranks pages about ‘awards’, that’s a feature only available on Big Sea Games…for now. The links to “How to Play” aren’t available to the general public yet, so if you have any questions on how to play a particular game, use our search box on the right sidebar or just ask.
In the right sidebar of this site is a Categories dropdown — use that to find historical information about each of the games. There’s also a search box if you are looking for something in particular.
And don’t forget to Like/Follow us on Facebook!
Enjoy, and don’t hesitate to leave a comment to introduce yourself or ask any questions you may have. Welcome aboard!

Happy New Year everyone!
First of all, I’d like to thank all of you for your patience over the last few weeks while I took some time off after the birth of my son. Second of all, I’d like to especially thank Charlie for checking in with me and helping me catch up after my little vacation! Thank you thank you thank you!
Big Sea Games has put up How to Play posts for the following games:
Thunderbolt 21
L.O.B.E.
SnowGlobe Slots
Unwell Mel
As always, these will be permanently linked from the Game Ranks and Awards pages as well.
Another small news item is that the Daily Poll — which broke with an update in December (or was it November?) and was only displaying your answer to the poll as opposed to a percentage chart of everyone’s answers — has been moved from the front page of the site to the Big Sea Games Facebook page. At the time of this post, a recent Facebook update from Big Sea Games states “We have moved our Poll of the Day to our Facebook page for the time being! Check back each weekday for a new poll!” but there have been no polls posted (yet).
And on a related note, Big Sea Games has been publishing the new game from Big Fish Games on a daily basis to their Facebook page. I understand that it’s “content” and it’s “related”, but isn’t that something that should be reserved for the Big Fish Games Facebook page only? My point of view is that I’m already a fan of both pages; should I un-fan (unfollow? unsubscribe from?) Big Fish Games since I’m now getting duplicate information (not to mention that I’m already getting the daily game splash in my email)? Are there any Facebook users/fans out there who have an opinion on this?
And don’t forget to become a fan of the Big Sea Fans Facebook page, it’ll automatically let you know when something new is posted here.
There’s also been an update to our broken friends lists:
We have restored functionality to the friend’s list. If you have over 20 friends, you should see them now. The issue with certain browsers pushing friend’s off the edge of the screen still persists however and will be resolved at a later date.
Thanks
Draddog
For what it’s worth, the latest version of Firefox is one of those “certain browsers”.
Did I miss anything newsworthy? Have you seen any news around the Big Sea Games site in the past few weeks that you’d like to share with everyone? Feel free to leave a comment below discussing updates or changes you’ve experienced. Thanks!
Now we can add Unwell Mel to the list of games that will have awards when the new community site launches (L.O.B.E. and Riddle O’Day)! The 12 awards for Unwell Mel will be as follows:
Gunkologist
Destroy 950 pieces of gunk
Medical Baggage
Match a total of 500 medical bags
Kobayashi
Match 63 hot dogs
Four Play
Make a 4 match 200 times
Top Doc
Complete a total of 25 levels without using any powerups
Fever Buster
Cure 3 diseases with the word “Fever” in the title
Oil is Well
Destroy 250 pieces of gunk with the Big Fish Oil powerup
A Dose a Day
Finish the Daily Dose 10 times
Hemo Therapy
Destroy 100 Hemogoblins before they turn into gunk
Botch-alism
Use the Ralph Hurley powerup 50 times
Malpractice
Run out of moves 25 times
Tummy Tucker
Achieve the rank of “Plastic Surgeon”
One of the awards cracks me up — Kobayashi, a tribute to Takeru Kobayashi a competitive eater, known for six-year streak as World Hot Dog Eating Champion (culminating in a 63 hot dog record in 2007).
What award do you find most humorous? Are you looking forward to earning any one more than the others?
